00:00Hello and welcome to Sorry I Didn't Know.
00:21I'm Chiz Yakadulu, your beloved barber of the bygone,
00:25shaping up faded facts and slipping the split ends
00:28of botched biographies.
00:30I bring you history with a touch of colour.
00:36To my right, with a trim so sharp you could cut yourself,
00:39it's Richard Blackwood!
00:43Richard, who's joining you tonight?
00:45Let me tell you something.
00:47With me tonight is a comedian who I'm calling one of the best
00:49things to come out of the West Midlands.
00:51It is Lindsay Santoro!
00:53And also on my team is a man who I met at a university that he used
01:00to go to. I went there with my son to perform because I couldn't get a
01:04babysitter.
01:05This man here was hosting the show the first time I saw him perform and he
01:09tore it down.
01:10please make some noise for the always funny Uri Styler.
01:14Come on!
01:18And to my left, the original old man in the corner of the barbershop,
01:21it's Eddie Caddy!
01:23Who's helping you out, Eddie?
01:28Now to my left is a comedian known for the MASH report whose comedy
01:31once got him heckled at a post charity lunch.
01:34But my guy is here to kill it tonight.
01:36It's Nish Kumar!
01:37Woo!
01:38Yeah!
01:39And also on my team is a member of one of the biggest boy bands in
01:45Britain.
01:46A singer, TV presenter and a former.
01:48Bet you weren't expecting that.
01:49It's the one and only, the talented J.B. Gill!
01:53Come on!
01:58Welcome to you all.
01:59Nish, tell us more about this charity lunch.
02:02I was doing a charity lunch for a cricket charity and so the audience
02:06was, I don't want to say white because they weren't, they were sort of red.
02:09They were just a lot of like, I don't know what it is about a certain
02:13demographic of upper-class white English man.
02:16All of the blood in their body tries to leave it via their face.
02:20And so I was doing some jokes that were not playing well with them
02:23and then I said, well, I guess this is what happens when I perform
02:27for a room full of people largely descended from people who colonise
02:30my ancestors.
02:31Oh!
02:32Which I would say didn't help.
02:34And then one man stood up and shouted, that was ages ago.
02:41Wow!
02:44J.B.
02:45Yes.
02:46From JLS to being a farmer.
02:48What's been the biggest challenge on the farm?
02:50Of course, transitioning from music entertainment into farming.
02:55There's a lot of learning to be done.
02:57When we first got our pigs, I hadn't had my children yet.
03:00So I'd never ever experienced what birth was like.
03:02So I'm thinking in my head, just be there on hand to do what you've got to do.
03:07So I tried to do that.
03:08Literally tried to jump into the pen with the pig.
03:10It was all set up with the heat lamp there.
03:12You've got the water.
03:13Everything was good.
03:14Scared for my life.
03:16I actually thought I was going to be murdered.
03:18She tried to attack you?
03:19She tried to attack me.
03:20Oh, wow.
03:21You know what?
03:22She's lucky because if it was me, I would have come in there with a knife and focus and
03:24me ain't so.
03:25Moving on to Richard's team.
03:29Lindsay, so you did Live at the Apollo at the start of the year.
03:33How did your nerves hold up?
03:34I was fine, actually.
03:36The worst bit is you have to stand behind the Apollo sign and they fill the back with
03:42smoke.
03:43And you've got some poor lad called Ben just saying, stand still, stand still, stand still.
03:48And then they lift the sign.
03:50You can't see the sign go up though.
03:51You just have to put faith in Ben that it's gone.
03:54And then he'll say walk and you just walk out like you've had about 20 vapes at once.
03:58And you just go out and try and do some comedy.
04:00But I think this is more stressful because I'm sat next to two very buff boys.
04:05And I feel like I'm just here like a little melted souffle.
04:11Ori.
04:12Hey.
04:13You've just finished a world tour and I'm told you were surprised by the travel perks.
04:16Yeah.
04:17So anytime I've traveled to do shows or just for vacation, I've always just flown like normal
04:22economy.
04:23But we built up enough points for one of the flights that we were able to upgrade.
04:27And it was between Dubai to New Zealand and I upgraded to business.
04:31Never done that before in my life.
04:33I walked on there and everybody that saw me were confused to see me walking.
04:37Because I'm just in like just sweats and stuff.
04:39They felt, even though I felt upgraded, like you could see they felt downgraded.
04:43I'm being serious.
04:44I don't drink.
04:45But as soon as you walk on, they've got the air hostess with like a tray with the champagne
04:50flutes.
04:51I don't drink, remember?
04:52I took two of them, went back to my little suit.
04:55I started posing for Instagram like a baddie, you know.
04:58Please give it up for our amazing guests.
05:02This round is called This Was When.
05:12For this one, our teams will be shown a moment from history, captioned in a photograph.
05:17They just need to tell me what's happening.
05:19OK.
05:20Feet on buzzers.
05:21Here we go.
05:22What's happening here?
05:24JB.
05:25JB.
05:26That is when you open up the Rice Krispie packet and there's a random cocoa pop in there.
05:36I'm just saying.
05:37As soon as you said right, I knew exactly what he was going to say.
05:42Yeah, I'm not lying.
05:44Richard.
05:45This was the original, we're not racist, I've got a black friend.
05:50Nish.
05:51Is that the first ever university prospectus cover?
05:54No.
05:55Lindsay.
05:56I think that the Dunlop bag has probably seen more action than any of the people in that
06:02world.
06:03That's the first ever meeting of the diversity and inclusion department at the airport.
06:10Richard.
06:11His name is Winston.
06:13Winston's the original, where is Wally?
06:17Where is Winston?
06:18Me can't find you.
06:19You see?
06:20Me can't find you.
06:21I'm going to give you the answer.
06:22Do you know?
06:23Go on, Eddie.
06:24They're at an airport.
06:25Yeah, I'm looking at this.
06:26Is this like a flight is about to happen?
06:28Because I'm seeing Dunlop.
06:29So maybe I'm thinking tennis.
06:30Maybe it's the first tennis or sporting team to fly somewhere.
06:31I'm going to give you the point.
06:32Give it to me.
06:33Oh, wow.
06:34I'm going to give you the point.
06:35This was when the England youth table tennis team headed to Beijing for a tour in 1973.
06:49The only black man pictured is Jamaican-born Desmond Douglas.
06:53Come on.
06:54He represented Team GB at the Olympics in Seoul 1988 and still coaches to this day.
07:01Nice.
07:02OK, what's going on in this image?
07:07Lindsay.
07:08Is it the reason HR was invented?
07:11Where is that man's right hand?
07:16Eddie.
07:17I think she was the first black woman to achieve something in that studio and that looks like
07:25a celebration of some sort.
07:26It just looks like it's the first time it's happened and they all can't believe it.
07:29That is correct.
07:30This was when journalist Barbara Blake Hanna became the first black female reporter on British
07:36TV in 1968.
07:38Unfortunately, just nine months into her role, her time at Thames Television came to a sudden
07:43end as racist viewers couldn't handle seeing her on their screens.
07:48What?
07:49Thames, what's the story here?
07:52These guys have come and made it clear we've come to collect our lions.
08:01Nish.
08:02Is that the Daily Mail's worst nightmare?
08:06No one left a full-on I am legend of white people in England.
08:12Even the pigeons are racist.
08:13Look at them.
08:14Look at them.
08:15They're like...
08:17JB.
08:18That is filming on set for the Black Reservoir Dogs.
08:26Mad.
08:27Love that.
08:28Love that.
08:29Richard.
08:30These are the first five that said, mm-mm, too cool, man.
08:32Stay at home.
08:33Don't come over.
08:35No.
08:36This was when the African-American acapella ensemble Fisk toured Europe in 1925.
08:42They were raising money for Fisk University, which was a historically black college in Tennessee.
08:48They were so good, the singers were requested to perform before Queen Victoria and King George V.
08:54Impressive, right?
08:55Yeah.
08:561925.
08:57Don't play with it.
08:58Excuse me.
08:59Yes.
09:00They were undercover.
09:01As soon as they were done, they took the lines.
09:03And the winner of that round is Eddie's team.
09:08Our next round is I Didn't Say That.
09:15The round where we elevate black voices and use what they say for our quotes.
09:20For this one, our teams will be presented with an unfinished quote from a melanated person,
09:24and all they have to do is complete it.
09:26Richard, your team is up first.
09:28Mm.
09:29I'm rooting for blank.
09:31I do think I know this one.
09:33I think you should say, because I think it would be the right thing to do.
09:36We need points, and I don't like the fact that Eddie's team is winning.
09:38Eddie does his thing when he wins, he goes, you know what, let me just shake everyone's
09:41hand in front of me.
09:42I don't like it.
09:43I'm connecting with my team.
09:44I understand, but it feels like you're doing it to rub it in our faces.
09:47I am too.
09:48Is it Everybody Black by Issa Rae?
09:50Yeah.
09:51Correct.
09:52Come on.
09:53Don't blame him.
09:54Don't blame him.
09:55Come on.
09:56What's his name?
09:57Come on.
09:58I'm rooting for Everybody Black was a quote taken from Issa Rae on the red carpet of
10:03the 2017 Emmys while discussing the recognition of black talent at the award show.
10:08Eddie's team, we have to talk about blank.
10:11We have to talk about how a woman could be at a party with her man, just the two of them.
10:16Go to the toilet and come back with 50 new friends.
10:19How do you lot do it?
10:21You think that's all in that space?
10:24Yes.
10:25We need to do about the kind of women you're hanging out with.
10:29I feel like it's a word.
10:31It's like quite a poignant word.
10:33Vision.
10:34Belief.
10:35I don't know.
10:36You're a songwriter.
10:37Keep going.
10:38Breathe again.
10:39Breathe again.
10:40Come on.
10:41LAUGHTER
10:42We have to talk about how we all need to unite as one human race.
10:47OK, I'm going to give you half a point.
10:49Half a point.
10:50Wait, that got half a point.
10:51Relax, Mr Business Class.
10:53The answer is we have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society.
10:58You never said that about liberate.
11:00Listen, if you don't unite, how are you liberating?
11:06As a society.
11:07Yeah, mate.
11:08These were the words of American activist and philosopher Angela Davis,
11:13discussing the education and prison complex in the 1970s.
11:17Yeah.
11:18Richard, this is yours.
11:20Mm-hm.
11:21Everybody has a plan until blank.
11:23Until they get punched in the face.
11:24Yeah.
11:25It's correct.
11:26Yeah, that was.
11:27Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth, said by Mike Tyson,
11:32the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.
11:38That's what they said.
11:39You get punched in the mouth.
11:40You start with me, I'm going to punch you in the mouth real hard.
11:42He started crying.
11:43I said, what are you crying for?
11:44Stop crying.
11:45It's not laughing.
11:47It's not funny.
11:48It's not funny.
11:49Stop laughing.
11:50That's scarily accurate.
11:51I want to give you an extra point, but I'm not allowed.
11:54Eddie, your quote is, embrace what makes you unique, even if blank.
12:00Hmm.
12:01Even if it's really fucking weird.
12:03Um, embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes you look stupid.
12:09Hmm.
12:10I'm going to give you half a point.
12:11OK.
12:12The full quote is, embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others
12:16uncomfortable.
12:17That was a quote from American singer, Janelle Monáe.
12:20Not only unique, but comfortable in her own skin.
12:22Mm.
12:23Yeah.
12:24And the winner of that round is Richard's team.
12:30And just like that, we've come hurtling towards the break.
12:34But while you await our return, see if you can figure out this word.
12:38Find out the answer after the break.
12:39APPLAUSE
12:40Welcome back to Sorry I Didn't Know.
12:41Before the break, I gave you this phrase to figure out.
12:45This is an Afro, a scent and a trick.
12:46Afrocentric.
12:47A world view or approach that centres around the history, culture and experiences of people
12:58of African descent.
12:59Sorry I didn't know. Before the break, I gave you this phrase to figure out.
13:03This is an Afro, a scent and a trick.
13:06Afrocentric.
13:08A worldview or approach that centres around the history, culture and experiences of people
13:12of African descent.
13:17Now to our next round.
13:19She's the originator of humanity.
13:22Every museum wants a piece of her and many of us can't wait to return.
13:26It's Mama Africa!
13:35No-one's helping me down?
13:36No? OK.
13:37Oh, Ross.
13:38LAUGHTER
13:40The African has come out now, isn't it?
13:42Yeah, no, no, he's not.
13:44Nobody wants to help me. I'm no longer British.
13:47In this round, I'll ask our team captains questions based on the continent of Africa.
13:51The theme of tonight's round is the landscape.
13:55Eddie, you are up first.
13:57Which country is known as the land of a thousand hills?
14:00A thousand hills?
14:02Like, OK, which is the biggest one?
14:03Right.
14:04Your country, DRC?
14:06Yes.
14:07DRC is massive.
14:08I'm glad we have some facts about it, because I was worried you were going to say Ali Pali.
14:11So this is a great start.
14:12A thousand hills.
14:13DRC is known for hills.
14:16But we also have a country that has a lot of mountain gorillas.
14:23Ooh.
14:24Which one is that?
14:25Rwanda.
14:26It could be in the name, though.
14:27Equatory Hill.
14:28Hey!
14:29Oh, no, JP.
14:30No.
14:31No.
14:32No.
14:33JP.
14:34Breathe again.
14:35Breathe again.
14:36Breathe again.
14:37LAUGHTER
14:38That was good, though.
14:42That was lyrical.
14:43I get that.
14:44I am confident...
14:45Yeah.
14:46I am confident...
14:47Mm-hm.
14:48Yeah.
14:49..that it is...
14:50Why are you laughing, Lindsay?
14:51It's because you said I'm confident and then looked at both of them and went, I am.
14:54LAUGHTER
14:55I'm confident.
14:56So, yes, we are going for the fun.
15:00Rwanda.
15:01Rwanda.
15:02OK.
15:03Richard's team.
15:04I'm so convinced that Eddie knows what he was talking about.
15:08Just put it on tap.
15:09Is that a possibility?
15:10Or is it somewhere else?
15:12The worst that could happen is that none of us get a point.
15:14Or the best that could happen is that we both do.
15:16Yeah.
15:17And we'd be in the same position that we're in.
15:18Cos, I'll be honest, I have no idea where the land of a thousand hills is.
15:21And you know what else, just to add to that, why I'm also going to go Rwanda,
15:25is if it's wrong, you should be ashamed of your...
15:28LAUGHTER
15:30So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to be polite and...
15:33I'm Rwanda.
15:34Here we go.
15:35OK.
15:36The correct answer is Rwanda.
15:38APPLAUSE
15:40The country's nickname accurately reflects Rwanda's volcanic mountain valleys
15:47and rolling hills.
15:48Well done.
15:49APPLAUSE
15:51Richard's team.
15:53Where is home to a structure that can be seen from space?
15:56You sure you don't want Eddie to go first?
15:58OK.
15:59Well, I think you can see the pyramids from space.
16:04Which is Egypt.
16:06Can you see the pyramids from space?
16:07I've never been to Czech, but I've been told.
16:10LAUGHTER
16:11If you can see the pyramids from space,
16:14I don't know what other buildings are taller than that.
16:17I am going to go with Egypt, because I believe in my people,
16:21and if I get this right as a Jamaican, shame on you.
16:25Mm-hm.
16:26LAUGHTER
16:27All right, Lindsay.
16:28OK, thank you, Jamaican.
16:29Let's try that one.
16:31LAUGHTER
16:32Eddie.
16:33So...
16:35Mm.
16:36..my constituency.
16:37LAUGHTER
16:38I'm finding this all quite ironic,
16:40because this is basically how the Europeans divided up Africa.
16:42LAUGHTER
16:43LAUGHTER
16:45Right?
16:46Oh, no.
16:47LAUGHTER
16:48The reason I'm thinking the pyramids is just, you know,
16:51it makes a lot of sense.
16:52Yeah.
16:53So, when he said pyramids, a lot of the audience went,
16:55yeah, it's the pyramids.
16:56LAUGHTER
16:58But also, when we're talking about the pyramid,
17:00there's actually a lot more pyramids in Sudan
17:02than there is in Egypt.
17:04Mm...
17:05Oh.
17:06I think you should go with Sudan.
17:07LAUGHTER
17:08No, because you sold it so well.
17:09Yeah.
17:10I think we're saying you should go with Sudan.
17:11All I know, right...
17:12Yes, mate.
17:13..is...
17:14Tell me everything you know.
17:15Yes.
17:16LAUGHTER
17:17Everybody...
17:18that's...
17:19in these red chairs...
17:20Yes.
17:21You've been to the most African countries.
17:23Yeah.
17:24But I haven't been to Sudan.
17:25Right.
17:26LAUGHTER
17:27That helps.
17:28LAUGHTER
17:29I feel like it's Sudan.
17:30The Croydon lads support you 100%.
17:32Oh, we just go...
17:34Hello, my people.
17:36OK.
17:37The country is Mauritania.
17:39LAUGHTER
17:40APPLAUSE
17:42All of that, Eddie.
17:45Listen, listen.
17:46We are here to educate.
17:47LAUGHTER
17:48But what is the structure, my sister?
17:49Situated in North West Africa, Mauritania is home to the Rikkat structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara, a geological rock formation which can be seen all the way from space.
18:08Eddie's team.
18:09Which African country's capital city has the highest altitude?
18:14Ooh.
18:15Mm.
18:16That's a good question.
18:17Whoa.
18:18I feel like it's definitely in the Southern part.
18:20Southern part?
18:21Yes.
18:22I feel like I'm just giving these people confidence.
18:23Not at all, cos you got it wrong.
18:25Cos this...
18:26This is...
18:27This high altitude track.
18:28Kenyan.
18:29Yes.
18:30Nice.
18:31Where do they all go and train?
18:32Why do they go there?
18:33I was saying, high altitude training, when people go and do, like, you know, the athlete...
18:37Yeah, he knows more about Africa than you do.
18:39But you say the capital city, yeah?
18:42So then now we're talking Nairobi being...
18:44Yeah.
18:45My mum was born in Nairobi and she can't run for shit.
18:48LAUGHTER
18:51I feel like we should be in the Southern part somewhere.
18:54Yeah.
18:55All right, let's go.
18:56Yeah, I'm happy to go with that.
18:57So we're going to go South Africa, Botswana region.
19:00OK.
19:01Richard, your team.
19:02I can't help you.
19:04LAUGHTER
19:05I want to help you, but I can only think of Madagascar.
19:08I was going to say Madagascar.
19:09The animals went there and they were safe, so they must have had the...
19:13LAUGHTER
19:15APPLAUSE
19:17In the film.
